from Castorama stores in France. o Design and production of wood flour made up of 35% wood and

65% fully recycled plastic that can be recycled industrially.

Customer benefits o A commitment to supply 1,000 metric tons of wood flour a year

for 5 years. o Enhanced water resistance and a finished product that is 40%

lighter. o An unprecedented achievement in France with a 100% recycled

composite timber enabling a laminate worktop to be produced, a pure circular economy product.
